John 7:40-44

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁴⁰ After hearing his words, some of the people said, “This is truly the Prophet.” ⁴¹ Others said, “This is the Christ.” But some said, “Surely the Christ does not come from Galilee, does he? ⁴² Doesn’t the Scripture say that the Christ comes from David’s descendants and from the little town of Bethlehem where David lived?” ⁴³ So the people were divided because of him. ⁴⁴ Some of them wanted to arrest him, but no one laid hands on him.
